Job description:
We're Fly Victor, and we're revolutionising the private jet market. Think Airbnb for private jets; we're creating the marketplace that connects operators of aircraft to our members who want to fly them, and allowing them to be purchased as a whole aircraft or by seat. We've just raised £5m to take our initial application to a global scale, and you might have seen us in the Guardian, Telegraph or on Bloomberg over the last couple of weeks.We're a small and growing agile team. As a team we aspire to the hacker culture. We care about what we do. We want to produce simple, elegant solutions to difficult problems. We take pride in getting the job done right. We want to improve as individuals and improve the team and wider organisation around us. We use modern technologies, tools and methods to produce a product that our customers love. We want our applications to be ubiquitous; any time someone is booking a jet they'll be using the Victor platform.We choose the best tools for the job and right now that's mostly node and Angular, with MongoDB. We have a smattering of Python, and a .net application that's slowly being retired.

Requirements:
Our world is full of data about aircraft, flying and how trips should be priced; aircraft details (speed, age, etc), weather conditions, available airports for landing, historical pricing, events people will want to fly to, the rules operators use to price their trips, amongst many others and we're looking for someone to come in and help us make sense of it all, turning a mass of numbers into a beautiful picture. You might have a PhD in a field associated with this, significant experience of a similar problem, or you might just really know your stuff and be able to come in and blow us away with your approach.

Benefits:
We offer an exciting challenge and an enjoyable working environment, with opportunity to grow as we do. We'll even pay you (fairly)!
